This initiative is likely to succeed, even though “experts have predicted blood relatives will not win custody of the child.” For it to fail would be “Islamophobic,” and even after the jihad massacre, San Bernardino County Child Protective Services will probably cave in the face of being called “racist” and “bigoted” by Hamas-linked CAIR, designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. In light of what has come out about the extensive jihad ties of the Farook family, however, Hamas-linked CAIR’s Shocked! Shocked! press conference with Syed Rizwan Farook’s brother-in-law while the bodies were still warm in San Bernardino looks more and more like an exercise in deceiving the Infidels.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations – Greater Los Angeles Area office (CAIR-LA) is helping Saira Khan obtain custody of her six-old month niece, the child left orphaned by the jihadist couple who massacred 14 people and wounded 21 others in a terrorist attack in San Bernardino last week.

Mrs. Khan is the sister of Syed Farook who carried out the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California with his wife Tashfeen Malik.

CAIR-LA said its priority is to ensure the child is placed with a Muslim foster family.

Currently, the child, whose name is not being released, is in the custody of the San Bernardino County Child Protective Services.

Experts have predicted blood relatives will not win custody of the child, notes Fox News.

Nevertheless, the child’s aunt and uncle on her father’s side, assisted by an attorney with CAIR-LA, moved to obtain custody at an initial hearing today.

“Early this morning, Saira Khan and her mother attended an initial hearing relating to the custody of her six-month-old niece, the surviving child of Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, “ says CAIR-LA in a statement. “Fatima Dadabhoy, an attorney with the Council on American-Islamic Relations – Greater Los Angeles Area office (CAIR-LA) was with the family.”

“A second hearing has been scheduled for January,” it continues. “The family is naturally distraught at the separation and are eagerly awaiting to obtain custody of the six-month-old girl. CAIR-LA is working to make sure that the baby is placed with a Muslim foster family while she remains in the custody of San Bernardino County Child Protective Services. It is also working with the family to ensure that the child is swiftly reunited with her family.”

Hussam Ayloush, director of CAIR-LA, said the United States is “partly responsible” for the San Bernardino attack by by the jihadist couple, whom authorities say had been “radicalized for quite some time.” Malik, Farook’s wife reportedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) moments after the shooting began.

The murderous couple reportedly left their daughter at their Redlands, California home Wednesday with Rafia Farook, the gunman’s mother, saying they were on their way to a doctor’s appointment.

Instead, the couple drove to the Inland Regional Center, a state social services facility in San Bernardino, where they opened fired on Farook’s co-workers during a holiday party.

Saira Khan, Farook’s sister, and her husband reportedly expressed horror and shock at the couple’s actions after the attack.

“Farook and Saira Khan’s mother, Rafia, who appeared in Family Court Monday with Saira, has not spoken to the press but reportedly told authorities that–despite living in the home with her son, daughter-in-law and baby granddaughter–had no idea of the couple’s radical orientation or murderous intentions,” notes Fox News.

Saira Khan’s husband, Farhan Khan, confirmed to Fox News that the girl was not released to the family Monday. The Khan couple have two children of their own.

“For the time being, we want her to enjoy her innocence,” Saira Khan told ABC News. “You know, we don’t want her to know everything, but I think eventually she will find out probably on her own.”…

The safest place for this child right now is NOT with a relative with a known address and name. Two reasons: #1 possible retribution for the 14 homicides and #2 it wouldn’t be good social work practice to place a child in a possible bomb factory. The child should be moved to an undisclosed secure location to a foster family with no strong religious or political affiliation.A few months down the line she should be moved again. She has been placed in a very dangerous situation by the parents. It’s not beyond imagining an attempt on the child’s life by whoever for whatever reason. Good luck California Child Protective services!

Excellent comment Marty. I would even go so far as to suggest this child grows up not even knowing her true identity. It would be better for her. That way she can choose her life’s path without this looming over her.
Stay sharp.

I think the baby would do well in a nice Judeo-Christian home. There are so many lovely couples who can’t have kids who would love to raise this little one. There are so many lovely people who wouldn’t lose their lives knowing that their kid would be up for grabs by a community that supports pedophilia.

#2 should be commonsense.

But #1 is just sickening calumny–the idea that victims of savage Jihadists are likely to react by *murdering a baby* is the most repulsive slander.

When have victims of Jihad–or *any* Infidels–deliberately targeted Muslim babies?

What grotesque and false moral equivalence.

In fact, the victims threw a baby show for this child just months before their murder. Slandering their survivors in this way is just repellent.

Is there a formal adoption procedure in Islam? When Muhammad had the ‘hots’ for Zaynab the wife of his adopted son Zaid who conveniently divorced Zaynab so that Muhammad could marry her adoption in the Western sense was done away with.
Robert, can you throw some light on this?

There is a priority system to ensure that Muslim orphans are cared for by a blood-relative. The deceased father’s sister is the preferred carer (sometimes even in situations where the mother is still alive!). Hence the situation above.

If there is no blood-relative, it is recommended that other members of the Muslim community care for an orphan, and they are promised rewards in Heaven for doing so.

In practice, Muslims dislike doing this. Mothers and sisters must veil from their foster son/brother, and fostered daughters must veil from their father and brothers. This makes the logistics of living together in a small house very awkward. At this time in Syria, there is a problem with refugee orphans, because the orphanages are over-crowded and under-resourced, but Muslim families in Europe simply aren’t volunteering to sponsor them for adoption. It goes without saying that they will never be released to non-Muslim families.

The foster-carers are legal guardians but they are never addressed as “Father” and “Mother” and they are obliged to inform the child about his/her biological parents. In the case above, there is no way that this baby would ever be shielded from the identity of her original parents.
